Tip for easy QR code generation

September 27th, 2011 Leave a comment Go to comments

If you use bit.ly to shorten URLs, you can use that same short URL to generate a QR code by simply adding .qrcode to the end of the shortened URL.

Example: http://bit.ly/9R0c1v is the short URL to a YouTube video
http://bit.ly/9R0c1v.qrcode will send you to a page with the QR code as a PNG image that you can download and put on whatever you want. When scanned, that QR code sends you to the same YouTube video.

Advanced: Adding ?s=1000 will send you a scaled-up / high-res version of the image for print (1000px by 1000px).
Example: http://bit.ly/9R0c1v.qrcode?s=1000 You can, of course, change the number to be higher or smaller per your need.
